Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

1. The bug arises when running ispell on a latex buffer containing
the latex command "\hyphenation{...}".
The normal action would be ignoring everything that inside the {...}.

2. What actually happens is e.g. if I have the line

\hyphenation{fer-mio-nic per-tur-ba-tive}

then an obscure runtime error message appears and ispell fails.

3. If I remove the dashes, namely replace that line by

\hyphenation{fermionic perturbative}

then no error is produced, and the contents of {...} is ignored
(no spelling errors reported even when I put some non-existing words there).

4. If I comment out the command (put % in front of \hyphenation)
then the stuff to the right of % is NOT ignored (as I believe is normally
the case). The contents of {..} is spell checked and does not procude runtime 
error
even if it contains dashes.

So, please fix!

Thanks,

Yigal Shamir
